Guardian Finds Afghan Witnesses US Couldn't

A man spent 2 years in Guantanamo Bay because the US government could find any of his four witnesses. The Guardian newspaper steps in and finds them in 3 days!

The Guardian searched for Mr Mujahid's witnesses and found them within three days. One was working for President Hamid Karzai. Another was teaching at a leading American college. The third was living in Kabul. The fourth, it turned out, was dead. Each witness said he had never been approached by the Americans to testify in Mr Mujahid's hearing.[via]
